A Google recruiter reached out to me through LinkedIn in May asking if I was interesting in joining GCP. I am currently an L6 Solution Architect at AWS and have been at AWS for roughly 2.5 years. I am doing great and had no desire to leave but thought maybe just out of curiosity I would go through the hiring process. Well, I got a call from the recruiter today, telling me they are ready to send me an offer but wanted to go over compensation. The recruiter told me it would be 148k base, 15% bonus and 120k/4 years GSU, that would make my TC around 210k a year. It dumbfounded me because it is not since 2015 wereI made 210k at a now not-named consulting company. I currently make 344k a year at AWS and couldnโ€™t imagine the offer would be so low. I live 40 miles north of Austin but that shouldnโ€™t be the reason the TC came out to over 100k less than what I make now. This is an L5 Customer Solution engineer position. I told her my make-or-break numbers, but I canโ€™t imagine her getting it approved. Oh well, at least I know I made it through the process, but I will stay at AWS! #aws #gcp
